They Will Destroy You - and other misc post-rock
casull:
Mogwai is pretty essential- their catalog is decent throughout, but their newest, Mr. Beast, is quite good. I'd give that a spin.
Rieux:
Being that Post rock is really all I listen to anymore, I've discovered a bunch that definitely need mentioning. Soxan Shore, Sparrows Swarm and Sing, This is a Process of a Still Life, Foxhole, We're from Japan!, Ydni Halda, Season, Samuel Jackson Five, Scraps of Tape, Maserati... of course the necessary gy!be and gy!be offshoots and tons of others. What I'd really suggest listening to is This is a Process of a Still Life and Foxhole. If you can, give 'Lamentation' by Foxhole or 'Cross My Heart, Hope You Die' by This is a Process of a Still Life (hell, just give their self titled a listen, it's excellent).
Spluff:
Akhmed are a pretty good local post rock band that I'm gonna throw out there.

--- Quote from: zerodrone ---My context was trying to explain how to semi-chronologically get into the genre, though, which is why I qualified with "early".

Your list is good, but you forgot Talk Talk.
RoadForksYou:
Wow, that was actually obscenely fast. I have hit up a couple of those others you mentioned, mostly the big names. I was reluctant to go including anything that sounded remotely similar, especially since a lot in this genre defies classification. I've...dabbled in Tortoise, heard Spiderland as a matter of right, and actually seen Do Make Say Think live (highly recommended). But, thanks for the suggestions. Any more are welcome, I've got a good 20 GB of Ipod to fill.
And sorry about the title.
